Tabs won't close? even if I click 'x', reverts to blank Firefox screen. android Sii mobile
I've just started using mobile Firefox, but it won't let me close ant tabs - there are 12 tabs item now. help! Even clicking 'x' only makes screen revert to a screen with adj there tabs shown that are active (12) of them.
Did exactly that.. as I mentioned, that got rid of the image of hte page, taking me to an overview of all the pages open, but when I then tap the upper right corner to show all the open pages again, it's still there, and still comes up and still reads '23' (I now have 23 pages open.. ugh)

Hidden tab won't close, constantly loading.
There's a tab on my Firefox that doesn't show on the window. It seems to be a tab that was previously open, that I thought I'd closed. While it doesn't show on the window, the tab preview when I mouse over it in the windows taskbar shows that the tab is still open. When I click the x in the preview, the tab won't close. Also on mousing over the tab, it shows that the page is blank, but it seems as though it is loading something. It may or may not be causing my computer to run slower than usual, but I can't be sure. Either way, it's annoying and the only way I can get rid of it is by restarting my browser, but even then after using the browser for a while another tab like that shows up and I run the same problem. How do I close a tab like this?
Extra notes:
The tab is not open from the start. It is not a homepage, as my homepage is set to about:blank, and opening a homepage upon starting my browser is disabled.
The tab is not visible on the Firefox window. It is only visible on the windows preview when mousing over the Firefox application in the windows taskbar.You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I cannot open new tabs manually. There is no + to do it with. When Mozilla opened Troubleshooting info in new tabs, I can't close them by clicking the x. They won't close. I tried restarting Firefox, then I restarted the entire computer, but it won't correct itself.
move new tab [+] on the tabs bar to the right side of Navigation bar for the white on black new tab indicator. That is item #5 in the following
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

Tabs won't close,I can open a new one, mouse works on every thing else. ff 36.0 winXP
When I click on a tab to close it I can see the red X press down but it won't close. I can open a new tab and I can click from tab to tab and the windows change. My mouse is working on every thing else, just can't close any tabs. There are six tabs open. This has been an ongoing.problem that seems to be getting more frequent. I usually do a restart and the problem goes away, but only for a short time. I don't
know where to start to fix it. I did notice the automatic updates in windows is turned off. Could that be part of the problem? Should it be turned on? I'm using Windows XP Professional version 5.1.2600 service pack 3. Firefox version 36, just refreshed. Any suggestions?

Download links don't work, tabs won't close, and firefox not responding
Everything was working fine yesterday until I updated my computer with windows update. Aft5er that I wasn't able to download any gaming links from the piratesbay and other gaming sites, I would look to see what is wrong the I look in the url and I see a box with a circle with a line crossed over it like it wouldn't allow me to click the link. When I hover my arrow over it it would give me an option of allowing the blocked pop up, edit it etc. I did everything by clicking 'allow pop up,' 'block pop up,' everything, but it still didn't work. There are times where I would give up on downloading the link and exit the tab but then it wouldn't let me. I tried going to other tabs and it won't let me either. SO I had to restart firefox and it worked normally again.
I could hide firefox web browser but nothing else, yesterday I could exit the browser but when I click on it it won't work until I restarted my computer. Now, today I can't exit of firefox browser, so I had to restart my computer with the browser still active. Only then, did everything worked normally again. However, it would repeat the same process over and over.
What is wrong with firefox? I don't want to keep restarting my computer each time this happens.Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state '''while saving your essential information.'''
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you. -

Safari 5.1.7 Tab - How to close them with 1 click?
I have just installed Safari 5.1.7.
What happened to the X in the tabs to close them?
I have looked in preferences, can't see any obvious way of restoring the missing "click on the X to close" option.
I now have to right click & select close from a drop down list. That's nuts!
I would love a solution to this before I end up reverting to version 5.1.6.If only it were that easy Barry.
I've tried hovering and gave up after 20 seconds.
I wasn't the first to use Safari after the upgrade to 5.1.7 & I wonder if the other user has some how managed to alter some obscure setting without knowing what she was doing.
Anyone else have any ideas? -
For the past few days I have been unable to close tabs. Clicking the "X" in the right corner of the tab does nothing. I can open new tabs though. It's really annoying. And yes I've restarted it and all that crap.
I'm having the same issue with a clean installation of this browser downloaded on 05-09-2011

Tab won't close. Akds to confirm by closing prompt/ key Esc key; won't close.
Unable to close a tab (page?). When you click on the close button, another window opens, asking for confirmation you want to navigate away from this page......type the escape key/ or click on close. The page remains open.
Try temporarily disabling JavaScript. In the Tools menu select Option, then go to the Content panel in the Options window and de-select the setting "Enable JavaScript". Close the Options window and then try to close the tab. You can then re-enable JavaScript.

My Firefox tabs won't close. They become deactivated, but the tab stays visible.
I'm running Firefox 6.0.2 with multiple groups and tabs active (45 tabs in 7 groups). Makes by research life much easier. In the last couple of days, when I close a tab (either by using the "x" or by right-pick menu), the tab becomes deactivated, but won't disappear. I have to close FF (save tabs), reopen, and the formerly closed tabs will reappear as active. Usually, I can close them and they disappear. Any new tab created and closed during the new session repeat the same problem.

How do I uninstall Firefox?--it won't uninstall, even though I click on Uninstall.
Firefox keeps crashing, and I keep sending reports, asking for help with this problem, but I get nothing! I want Firefox off my computer, but when I try to Uninstall, nothing happens. I've even tried to download the latest version, but all I get is a sign-up for the newsletter--wow, could this site be more incompetent????
I have not heard of any access code being required...
Try using the helper.exe file. Open the following folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall
Then double-click helper.exe to run it normally. If you get the same error, cancel out and try this:
Right-click helper.exe and choose "Run as administrator"
Can you get it to run? -
I "upgraded" to Beta 4 but it created too many aberrations, so I went back to 3.6.15. Formerly, when I clicked on the "X" to get out of screens, it would happen imm3ediately. Now it takes several seconds. But when I right-click on the bar at the bottom of the screen, it closes that page immediately. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Thanks.
If you are getting Siri when you double tap, then your home button must be sticking. Siri comes up when you hold the home button. Try tapping quickly twice. When that happens, the multi-tasking list comes up and you will see the app icon and then a thumbnail, or reduced size view of the app above it. You put your finger on that thumbnail and swipe upwards with your finger.
For that issue, you might want to do a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect your data.
To be honest, your novel is a little difficult to read, and I think you put too much information in there, and a lot of it is unnecessary. Be to the point and just add information necessary to understand the issue. -
Every other time FF is launched, address bar is static, 1st tab won't close.
This problem only happens every other time I open Firefox. It's two things, first, when I open Firefox my homepage loads, but the address bar is blank. And if I type something in like "google.com" it loads Google, but it doesn't automatically change the address to "http://www.google.com" like usual, it just keeps "google.com". Also when I have other tabs open and try to close the first one, it doesn't close.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
